The part where I felt most happy for Wilma Sturtz was when she becomes popular at Claverford, her middle school. She becomes popular because of her wish she made when she met an extraordinary old lady. This woman is like a fairy god mother who changes Wilma's situation into a dream. She gets love poems from a boy in secret and invited to a graduation dance where she meets her mysterious admirer and gets noticed by others. When the wish expires the next day, she realizes that she doesn't need to be popular to be happy.

I honestly thought that this is one of the best juv fiction books for girls that I have read in awhile. Due to an act of kindness, Wilma gets a wish which she changes at the very last minute to become the most popular girl in high school. She manages to remain true to herself and the interesting part is what happens when the wish expires the day after graduation.
